Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Not just for vegetarians, there's never been a better time for this award-winning book! Carol Gelles, one of the best-known authorities on the subject, offers hundreds of appetizers, entrees, soups, salads, and more, proving that vegetarian cuisine is anything but boring. The flavor combinations are limitless, drawing on the ingredients and spices from every international cuisine. Discussions of vegetables, grains, beans, and soyfoods are interspersed throughout the recipes, making the book easy enough for beginners to follow. And every recipe is coded as lacto-vegetarian (some dairy products), ovo-vegetarian (some egg products), or vegan (made without dairy or meat products).

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A great resource for vegetarians, meat eaters, and those learning to cook
This is an excellent book. I've been using it for about ten years now. While many of the other cookbooks I've bought in the past have long ago been tossed out, this book stays in my kitchen and gets used quite often.

When I got this book, I was just a teenager learning to cook. Then it helped me to learn many of the basics, and gave me a lot of new ideas to try. Now I find it helps me to eat healthier and make food that even my picky child will enjoy!

The recipes are easy to follow, and use ingredients that you are likely to have on hand, or can be found easily. Even though I am not a vegetarian, this book has been an invaluable resource to me. There are a lot of great things to make on days when the pantry's running low - like lentil shepard's pie, barley stuffed peppers, or any of the great pasta or noodle dishes. The recipe for gado-gado got me to try tofu (and enjoy it!)and I make sesame asparagus and spicy green beans with shallots all the time.

What's really great about this book is that there are so many recipes that even those of us who aren't vegetarians can enjoy. There are great recipes for snacks, side dishes, breads, breakfasts, soups, salads, appetizers, drinks, and desserts. There is a wide variety of recipes for all different tastes, and all sorts of different ethnic specialties. The book is very easy to follow. The recipes are easy to handle, so someone just learning to cook will find this book really useful, and most call for common ingredients that don't cost a ton of money.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best
I have to disagree with the "con" review. The book is named 1,000 vegetarian recipes NOT 1,000 Vegan recipes. She does include some vegan recipes and even offers substitutions if on how to make it vegan. I am a really picky eater add that with 2 vegetarian preschoolers and a meat eating husband if this book has something for all of us then I'm sure everyone can find some good food ideas in this wonderful book. It's definetly my favorite veggie cook book!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - I am NOT a vegetarian
I am simply someone with high blood pressure who was looking for a source of ideas for eating healthier. This book is terrific for that purpose.
Like rice and beans but not the 1200mg sodium in the packaged mixes ? Try Creole Red Beans and Rice, p.142. Can't face eating steamed broccoli one more time ? Try sauteed broccoli and garlic, p.242. I use (sodium-free) chicken broth rather than veg broth most of the time. There's a fine Caesar salad without anchovies. Time after time I ask the question - what can I do with avocado, asparagus, broccoli,... and the book always has a good answer.




Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A wealth of vegetarian recipes..
1,000 Vegetarian Recipes contains recipe selections to suit most vegetarian diets. After searching years for a vegetarian version of the Greek classic, Moussaka, I found a delicious version in this cookbook. Kudos to the author.
